Are you in an account with administrator privileges? ...Although I'm not sure it should matter.
Have you tried repairing permissions?
Have you tried repairing permissions?
I am in as administrator. have not tried to use repairing permissions. By the way what is repairing permissions?

Permissions tells who can write to which file, who can read which file, and so on. When they get messed up things like this happen.
Go to your Applications folder -> Utilities -> and open Disk Utility.
Select your Hard Drive on the left and click "Repair Permissions" (towards the bottom).
Restart your computer (you may not need to, but it never hurts) and try Software Updater again.
Hope that works.
BTW: Sometimes permissions just get messed up; it's nothing you did wrong.
